iBall Andi 4a Projector phone launched for Rs. 18999

iBall has launched world’s first 35 Lumens Projector phone called the iBall Andi 4a Projector that comes powered by 1GHZ dual core processor with a built in projector of VGA resolution (640×480). The Andi 4a Projector is priced at Rs. 18,999.

The key highlight is the built in projector with VGA resolution of size 32″/m. It’s LED powered – 35Lm brightness (contract 1200:1) with manual focus. A free Tripod is also included.

There are dual cameras – a front VGA for video call and 8MP on the rear with LED flash support. Andi 4a projector supports 3G (7.2Mbps), 2G, Wi-Fi (b/g), GPS with A-GPS and Bluetooth. G-sensor, proximity and light sensors are present and battery is of 1500 mAh capacity.

If you go though the specifications there is nothing new it’s the same dual core hardware that is currently available for under Rs. 10,000. So in all you are paying approx Rs. 9K extra for the 35 Lumens Projection feature.

Agree this is the world’s first ever 35 Lumens Projector phone, but i remember some 2-3 years back Spice launched a few projector phones (basic phones with a n inbuilt projector) which though were new concept but did not do well in the market (seems to be because of cheap resolution, limited memory backup, low battery capacity and only 3GP support) and were soon withdrawn/discontinued from the market.

I believe for a projector phone you need to have a good battery backup, 1500 mAh li-po will drain within an hour or 2 (i am not tech guy, this is what i believe).
